NOTE: we are expecting nearly 80 100 120 people. We cannot all fit in one room. It is GOOD to have overlapping sessions. There are plenty of slots open.
If you are considering hosting one, please do. Session creators, please post only one session in the main suites, hosting additional sessions elsewhere so more people get a chance to present.
We'll have most of these sessions in one of the four suites we've reserved, so you don't *have* to do your session in your own room. Though if you want to, go for it.
Thinking about hosting a session?
You should. Read this first.
